Default lotus uses {?} for input, what does excel use (macros)
Check out VBA help on InputBox

examples.............

to pause for user entry

whatname = InputBox("Enter a Name")

to pause for range selection

Set rngCopyTo = Application.InputBox( _
prompt:="Select the Destination Cell", _
Title:="Copy Range Formulae", Type:=8).Cells(1, 1)
